One exec said he believes Portland GM Rich Cho is “poised for a pretty significant 24th.” Given the grim prognosis for star guard Brandon Roy and the uncertainty about what cap space will be worth under the new labor rules, Cho is seriously considering Continue reading…

Consulting surgeon said that the Blazers had already operated twice before on Brandon Roy’s knee, and the surgeon said, “Either the original doctor who did those procedures wasn’t forthcoming with the Blazers… or the team was in complete denial about what was going on with his knees.” Continue reading…

Andre Miller turns 35 next month. The Blazers are his fifth NBA team. His three-year, $21 million contract includes an attractive June 29 team option that makes the final year of the deal non-guaranteed. Continue reading…

It was Andre Miller who said in December 2009, when his name was in trade rumors, that Portland is “where I want to be” and he’s “comfortable.” He’s no longer that gung-ho about sticking around. “I don’t really care, really,” Miller said when asked in a FanHouse interview Wednesday whether his hope now is to remain in Portland rather than be traded. “You know what I’m saying? I would like to stay put, but it’s a business and anything can happen.” When asked if he believes there’s a decent chance he’ll be moved by the Feb. 24 trade deadline, Miller said, “Yeah. Yeah.” “There’s a chance,” Miller said. “A lot of guys can get moved. Where? I don’t know. At this point, hopefully it’s not a team that’s rebuilding. I wouldn’t want to go back to like a Philly situation.” — Fanhouse

Greg Oden, 23, is too young to be labeled a bust. That’s why the Trail Blazers are not giving up on him. They are expected to make him the required $8.8 million qualifying offer next year to retain his restricted free agent rights as long as he shows progress in his rehabilitation. “Guys like him don’t come around too often,” first-year Portland general manager Rich Cho said. “A guy that size with his presence and his ability to play both ends of the court is a luxury to have.” — Indy Star

Even going to an elite team does not appeal much to Marcus Camby, who is in his 15th season. His ultimate desire is to remain in Portland. Continue reading →

All-Star guard Brandon Roy will sit yet another week to rest his ailing left knee and will not travel with the team on its upcoming three-game trip that starts Christmas night at Golden State. Roy said he made progress during his most recent weeklong absence but is still experiencing pain — not only during games, but away from the basketball court, too.  And unlike previous injuries during his career, when Roy rushed back as quickly as possible — sometimes too quickly — he is determined to be patient with a situation that has very suddenly transformed him from an explosive All-Star into a day-to-day question mark.  “I just want to really give this rest a chance to try to get me back to where I’m feeling confident that I can come back for the rest of the year and not just a few games,” Roy said. “I think coach (Nate McMillan) and the guys understand. I don’t think it would be smart to try to push it right now when I still have a little more time to gain some rest.” — Oregonian

With the Trail Blazers’ obvious struggles and the health challenges (that’s putting it mildly) of Greg Oden and Brandon Roy, two people with knowledge of the team’s strategy told CBSSports.com that Portland management is contemplating trading older players and going young. The obvious targets for such a purge would be Marcus Camby (36), Andre Miller (34), and Joel Przybilla (31). Roy isn’t old, but his knees are — though one of the sources said Portland would find no takers for the five years and $82.3 million remaining on Roy’s contract, given the state of his meniscus-less knees.  — CBS Sports
